My Power Door locks don’t work

If you’ve got power door locks and the door locks don’t work on your 2004-05 Caravan/Voyager, or T&C van, it’s probably a software issue with the body control module. Chrysler has issued a software update to permanently solve the problem. The dealer will charge you ½ hr labor to perform the update. If you don’t want to have the update performed, you can work around the problem by disconnecting the negative battery terminal for 5 minutes. When you reconnect, the body control module (BCM) will reboot and start behaving itself. You can rest assured that the problem will return, but it may take 6 months for the problem to resurface.

If your dealer isn’t aware of the updated software, tell them to read TSB 08-040-04.

Get the BEST auto repair informationAlldatadiy.com and Eautorepair.net are the two best shop manuals—period! Unlike the cheaper Haynes and Chilton manuals that cover multiple year models, leaving the exact information you need to fix your car, these professional manuals cover your exact year, make, model. A subscription includes up-to-date the manufacturer’s technical service bulletins, step-by-step removal and installation instructions, illustrations, wiring diagrams, component locations, torque specifications, fluid types and capacities and maintenance schedules. Plus, they contain full trouble code descriptions and troubleshooting instructions.

Which one should YOU choose? If you’re tracking down a wiring issue, Eautorepair.net is the better choice. Eautorepair.net redraws factory wiring diagrams in color and includes the component, splice and ground locations right in their diagrams. That saves a lot of time because you don’t have to refer back to the component locator or circuit locations. Alldatadiy.com, on the other hand, uses the factory diagrams. So you have to refer to the factory legends to learn the identification symbols and then refer back to circuit diagrams to find the splice and ground locations. However, Alldatadiy.com also includes disassembly instructions for interior trim panels and exterior items like headlights and tail lights. If you need to dig into your doors, dash or console, Alldatadiy.com is the better choice because Eautorepair.net doesn’t any interior or exterior trim or body part removal.
